Patient's question:
Twin dragon and phoenix babies. The siblings were born at 38 weeks full term, but their weight is a bit low. The older brother weighs five pounds, and the younger sister weighs four and a half pounds. The postpartum nurse is collecting premature formula milk. However, it is written on top that there must be a medical prescription. Is it suitable to drink this formula?Doctor's answer:
Twins, although they are full-term births, have low birth weight, so premature formula can be given. The low birth weight makes it easier for the premature formula to be digested, and with good absorption, the baby's weight will increase quickly. You can try feeding it for a period of time and carefully observe. Some babies who drink this type of formula may have thinner stools and green stools, so you should first test it and then decide whether to continue based on the baby's condition. The above is advice on this issue, and I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
